I've made a lot of bags recently for Christmas presents. First up is the Jane Market Bag:
For some reason when pulling/purchasing fabrics for these I was certain that I could make the exterior with fat quarters. You can't. I started cutting the first bag and realized I didn't have enough fabric. I altered the pattern on the first three bags and adjusted the size of the side pieces to make them fat quarter friendly since I didn't want to buy more fabric. It ended up working out just fine.
Wow they are beautiful! Love the fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteHi Kati! Wonderful bags! Your fabrics are beautiful as always but also your pattern is really good! I love how you have used other fabric on the sides and the straps! x Teje
ReplyDeleteSo pretty- love the first one especially!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The 3rd one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCute bags Kati!! Looks like you've been quite busy!! I never quite got to the bags I was going to make this year. You've inspired me to try to squeeze in at least one, I think it's way more fun that shopping-Ha!!
ReplyDeleteThose bags are adorable! I think I need to get that pattern, it looks like just the perfect sized bag. Great to hear about the easy alterations to make them FQ friendly!
ReplyDeleteThese are great - I agree - the fabric choices are terrific!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, very cute bags!
ReplyDeleteLovely bags!! It turns out we are driving through Utah after all to pick up Peter so we will be there the night of the 18th and morning of the 19th. If it works out, I would LOVE to see you all on the 19th!
ReplyDeleteI was going to make one this weekend but didn't have the energy after xmas shopping.
